...it is precisely the recurrent, habitual, and mundane practice of showing up that makes us less and less willing to inhabit a world where we don't show up, and where whole systems fail to show up for us.

I don't read YA but this was shelved with the romance and I saw lambda and the diverse characters and gave it a go, while I appreciate the diverse identities of the characters as represented here in ways that feel both real and important I was disappointed with both the story and the writing was dull, repetitive and sparse for what I like in romance. Finished it quite fast and feel it was and most effective as a really horny teen wish fulfillment fantasy.
